Kia Niro: Money-saving gas-electric hybrid priced right.

Kia's newest vehicle, the Niro, is the
lowest-priced gasoline-electric hybrid SUV on the market, and rated as high as
50 miles per gallon in combined city/highway travel.

No kidding about the great prices. Here at Barnett Kia,
right now you can lease a 2017 Niro—“Highest Ranked Small SUV in Initial Quality” by JD
Power—for $139 a month.*

The front-wheel drive, five-seat Niro FE has 4-cyl
engine mated to an electric motor and lithium ion battery pack to generate a
total of 139hp.

The base price includes an automatic
transmission, rearview camera, keyless entry, cruise control, seven air bags,
Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity, audio controls on the steering wheel,
and a 7-inch display screen in the middle of the dashboard.

Even with luxury features added, such as a
Harman Kardon premium sound system, leather-trimmed seats, power sunroof,
navigation system and heated steering wheel, the Niro still can be priced far
lower than you’d imagine. This pricing undercuts other hybrid SUVs that combine
power from an onboard electric motor with a gasoline engine for optimum fuel
mileage, such as the 2017 Toyota RAV4.

While affordability is the Niro's most
attractive trait, this small SUV also appeals with its comfortable seating
positions, pleasant driving traits, decent passenger space and flexible,
SUV-like cargo room.

Similar in size to the 2017 Honda HR-V and
Buick Encore small SUVs, the five-door Niro slots below the Sportage as Kia's
smallest SUV.

The Niro is sold only as a hybrid, so the
onboard electric motor and lithium ion battery pack supplement the power of the
1.6-liter, double overhead cam, direct injection, four-cylinder engine.

And, there's no droning or stressing of a
continuously variable transmission in the Niro during acceleration as there are
in most other gas-electric hybrids.

Kia uses a 6spd, dual-clutch automatic
transmission in the Niro for more natural-feeling gearing and responsiveness.
Regenerative braking and the engine help replenish the battery pack.

The top fuel mileage of 52 mpg in city
driving and 49 mpg on highways is for the base, Niro FE model, which weighs the
least. City mileage is rated higher than highway mileage because the electric
power is able to assist more often in city travel.

The Niro Touring, heaviest of all Niros at
well over 3,200 pounds, is rated at 46/40 mpg by the EPA and has averaged 38.8
mpg with some aggressive driving. That real world mileage translates to an
impressive 462 miles on a single tank.

Wider than the HR-V and Encore, Niro is
stable and roomy with an unexpectedly quiet interior. Backseat passengers have
37.4 inches of legroom, while there's nearly 42 inches for front-seat riders.
Headroom all around is more than 39 inches.

Rear seatbacks fold down flat to expand cargo space. The cargo floor sits up at
bumper level, so there's no lifting heavy objects up and out.
